Research field

Labour market

In this area of research labour supply and demand are studied, along with their impact on i.a. wages and employment/unemployment.
Studies address the significance of the tax system and of technological and institutional factors. Given the labour market’s
importance to economic performance and to most people’s economy and living standards, there are several points in common with
studies under other headings.

In this project we aim to uncover and discuss the mechanisms and factors that contribute to regional convergence and/or widening
divergence and segregation while also furthering insights into the causes and consequences of domestic migration.

Norwegian women have a high employment level, but at the same time one of the highest part-time rates in Europe as well as
in the Nordic countries, and part-time is common among women at all stages of the life cycle. At the same time a substantial
proportion is absent from work due to childbirth and child-care. This project will explore the potential labour supply reserve
among these groups, distinguishing barriers that may prevent and measures that may promote increased labour supply.

The primary objective of this research project is to investigate how intergenerational mobility differs among men and women,
and how mobility evolves over time. We will examine the evolution of intergenerational mobility in the long run and across
many different countries, and place particular emphasis on the complex interrelationship between intergenerational mobility
and marriage institutions. By sorting individuals into families, marriage plays a critical role in the transmission of human
capital and wealth across generations.
Secondary objectives include: Developing new methodology on the use of first names to study intergenerational mobility; verify
pseudo-links using register data; include new historical sources in studies of economic welfare; investigate the relationship
between economic development, increased female labor force participation and intergenerational mobility; expand international
cooperation in historical economic research.

The purpose of the project is to gain insight into effects on long-term employment on having to wait for specialist health-care
treatment. Results from the project may illuminate what groups of workers need support after having to wait for a long time
for treatment to avoid that their labor market attachment is weakened. The study uses sensitive information about the health
of de-identified individuals.
